HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts

Denb, that post has been around for some time. It is done totally tongue in cheek.

It was actually pretty thought-provoking and insightful, for such a young person.

"Many people, especially in the gay community, turn to oral sex as a safer alternative in the age of AIDS. And with HIV rates rising, people need to remember that oral sex is safer sex. It's a reasonable alternative."

that vid was a jokeyou can tell near the start by his comments on America being a theocracy with only one religion (which is not true) followed by the jest against old people and infertile couples not being allowed to be married - much less that silly comment about being around tall people will make one tall too. ROFL He also says that there is proof that homosexuality is a contagious disease, and I know I have been in "discussions" here about even the validity of a "gay gene", so if there's no proof of that kind of gene there sure isn't proof of being gay as being contagious.

finally saying that straight parents only raise straight children (with a questioning lilt to his voice too) was the give-away (if the theocracry thing wasn't) that the kid was joking in this vid.

didn't you notice that Ann's IRONY meter was registering very high!

Yeah, IRONY indeed, and that the kid will most likely end up being the leader of the free world, I hope that doesn't happen in my life time

He's saying one thing, but he means another. He's giving ridiculous reasons that people actually use to justify why gay marriage shouldn't be legal. He is firmly FOR gay marriage. I'm not really sure how to spell this out any better.

I see you couldn't stay out of this one either. I wasn't even talking to you and I'm sure matty is old enough to take care of himself. but if you want to stir up things even more go ahead.

So who's starting things now? Keep at it; I'm sure that you'll get tons of support.

"I have tried hard--but life is difficult, and I am a very useless person. I can hardly be said to have an independent existence. I was just a screw or a cog in the great machine I called life, and when I dropped out of it I found I was of no use anywhere else."

Weasel P.S. I LOVE sewer pumps too ! That reminds me I have to go to Home De Poe' today

I actually saw it a few weeks back on FB and posted it on my page there. Even my straight, but gay-friendly, friends liked it and saw the creator of the video's real intent - which was to show the ridiculousness of the stigma and discrimination against gay people.
